Museums - Discovery tours into history

The numerous museums of the ostfriesische peninsula invite to discovery travels delving into the history of nature and culture. Visiting the museum is not only instructive, but also entertaining.

Here, near the North Sea coast, you'll find many institutions with maritime subjects: The National park Wattenmeer (mudflats), ships in bottles, shell collections, sea travel history and marine. Sometimes, even ships have been rebuilt to museum rooms.

In the heart of Ostfriesland, collections theming history and culture, agriculture and settlement development present information about the life and work of the Frisian in the past centuries. In the MachMitMuseum (participation museum) at Aurich, kids have a lot of fun, and apart from the Kunsthalle (Arts hall) at Emden (which is famous on an international level), visiting the art houses of Ostfriesland is similarly worthwhile.
